Russia warns any Iran attack would destabilize the world

TEHRAN, Jan.18(MNA) --Russia's foreign minister warned on Wednesday that a military attack on Iran would trigger a "chain reaction" that destabilizes the world. "The consequences will be extremely grave," AP quoted Sergey Lavrov as telling a news conference. "It's not going to be an easy walk. It will trigger a chain reaction and I don't know where it will stop." Lavrov also warned that sanctions on Iranian oil exports now being considered by the European Union could undermine efforts to resolve the nuclear standoff between Iran and the West through talks. "It has nothing to do with a desire to strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation," Lavrov said. "We believe that there is every chance to resume talks between the six powers and Iran, and we are concerned about obstacles being put to them," he said. "The sanctions could hardly help make the talks productive."
